THE PUBLIC MIND AND THE POLITICS OF POSTMILLENN...

In the last twenty years  how has U.S.-American writing and the reading public responded to the
complexity of an American culture resolutely situated in a larger  highly politicized 
globalized world undergoing radical change? The 20th-century modes of realism and postmodernism
have been succeeded by writerly practices that are that are invested in the idea of embodied
'authenticity' and that are relatable to neorealism  whether it be via outright affirmation or
critical experimentation and appropriation. The individual case studies mark the ways in which
postmillennial U.S.-American writing is marked by an ongoing awareness toward complexity and
the entanglement of writers and the reading public with pressing political concerns  and  at
times oppressive  social and economic discursive and structural formations. These contributions
further attest to how narrative and structural complexity  grammatical and lexical
sophistication  and social nuance endure as the main literary modes of confronting 21st-century
political life. This volume is thus of interest for both the study of U.S.-American political
culture and U.S.-American literature.
